This article proposes an Enhanced Memetic Differential Evolution (EMDE) for designing digital filters which aim at detecting defects of the paper produced during an industrial process. Defect detection is handled by means ...

Differential Evolution (DE) is a simple and efficient optimizer, especially for continuous optimization. For these reasons DE has often been employed for solving various engineering problems. On the other hand, the DE ...

This article proposes a distributed differential evolution which employs a novel self-adaptive scheme, namely scale factor inheritance. In the proposed algorithm, the population is distributed over several sub-populations ...

This paper proposes the scale factor local search differential evolution (SFLSDE). The SFLSDE is a differential evolution (DE) based memetic algorithm which employs, within a self-adaptive scheme, two local search algorithms. ...

This paper proposes the super-fit memetic differential evolution (SFMDE). This algorithm employs a differential evolution (DE) framework hybridized with three meta-heuristics, each having different roles and features. ...

This paper proposes the use of two algorithms based on the parallel differential evolution. The first algorithm proposes the use of endemic control parameters within a parallel differential evolution algorithm; the ...
